Our response to current protests Read More

The current state of our world and nation are in an uproar. We are all struggling to process yet another tragic death of another African American man by the hands of our law enforcement. We mourn George Floyd and all that he represents in this time of unrest and uprising. As facets unfold in Denver, we want you to know we are here for you.

We need to be here for one another as we process through these events. We need to be open and able to have challenging conversations with each other, so we can navigate this together and seek the necessary change.

We cannot ignore the systemic fear and social constructions that led to this tragedy. It is important for us to recognize, acknowledge, understand and seek to propel change forward. We all deserve to live in a world where biases are pushed away and our diversity is embraced. We are all responsible for pushing the negativity aside and leading with understanding for one another. This is our time for massive change and growth, and we will navigate this together.

At Emily Griffith, and alongside Denver Public Schools, we will continue to be a safe and welcoming space for all who wish to learn. Our staff, faculty and students deserve to be in an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We do not discriminate for any reason and we value your color, culture, origin, ancestry, class, career, religion, gender, orientation, marital status, veteran status, age or disability.

As a college, we are saddened by these events, cognizant of the injustice, and are reaffirming our commitment to breaking down biases, inequalities and inequities.

Please continue to treat one another with respect and compassion. Seek to understand. Always stand up for what is right, filling in the gap when someone cannot stand up for themselves.

EMILY’S STORIES

“I had to figure out how to organize my life and my family and how to be successful in the U.S.”
— Adnan

In Syria, Adnan studied pharmacology in college and worked as a Pharmaceutical Representative and in medical sales for 7 years. When he first arrived here in Denver, he heard about Emily Griffith and started taking English classes. “One of the challenges I faced upon arriving was getting familiar with new words, new language, new environment, new expectations,” explains Adnan. “I had to figure out how to organize my life and my family and how to be successful in the U.S. It was really expensive in Colorado and a challenge to get a job. I got a job as a driver, but it wasn’t in my field and I didn’t make enough to pay my expenses.”

He says that Tiffany Jaramillo helped him in the CAREERS program and once his English was good enough he worked on getting into the Pharmacy Tech program. “I needed to get my high school diploma from my country, but this was too hard because my country was in the war. I had to get the documents I had translated and then work with the Health Science department to get approved with what I had,” explains Adnan.

The Pharmacy Tech classes have had their own challenges for Adnan. “I had to learn a new vocabulary and medical words. My primary language is Arabic and most of the people in my class speak English,” he says. “Mr. Joe has helped me if I need specific or more help or clarifications. He is a helpful man.”
